University of Tulsa Women's and Gender Studies Program

An interdisciplinary major and minor at The University of Tulsa. The B.A. degree is offered in this area.

The program in Women’s and Gender Studies at The University of Tulsa considers how gender and other intersecting factors, such as race, class, culture, sexuality, and age, have worked to shape the life experiences of women and men from diverse backgrounds. The program analyzes the contemporary and historical factors that underlie the current statuses of women and men from all parts of the world an

d explores the various means by which people have sought to achieve equality. The program’s dual emphases on interdisciplinarity and intersectionality offer students analytical frameworks and methological tools with which to understand people’s life experiences, human interactions, and economic and social institutions. By promoting awareness and knowledge of status-based oppression; of people’s inter-relationships; and of the ways in which civil rights movements throughout history have struggled for equity, the program seeks to contribute to changing attitudes and practices that tend to silence people’s voices or that work to devalue, marginalize, or subordinate women and men’s choices and life experiences. For further information about the Women’s and Gender Studies Program, contact Professor
Lamont Lindstrom, program co-director, at [email protected] or another board member: Professor Professor Jan Wilson, Professor Holly Laird, Professor Jennifer Airey.

Join The University of Tulsa Women's and Gender Studies Program this Saturday for a discussion on art, activism, and free expression with Russian feminist protest and performance art group P***yRiot!

Motivated by concerns about shrinking freedom of speech, political corruption, and election fraud in Russia, P***y Riot formed in 2011 to create a “militant, punk-feminist, street band” to mobilize against government overreach and address issues like gender and LGBT rights.

The discussion begins at 5 p.m. in the Tyrrell Hall Auditorium. Doors open for ticket holders at 4:30 p.m. Seating is extremely limited and tickets are required.

Happy Giving Day, WGS Facebook Friends! This is WGS Co-Director, Jennifer Lynn Jones. I'm proud to be part of the legacy of WGS here at TU in teaching about important social, cultural, and political issues, in supporting students on their journey to better understand themselves and their world, and in helping them decide how to apply their work here at TU to improve life for themselves and all around them. I hope you can see these benefits of WGS in your own lives. If so, please consider donating to WGS through our Giving Day portal. Your funds will help us continue providing valuable support to students inside and outside the classroom, like with our Professional Development Fund that enables students to take internships, buy research equipment, and travel to conferences to begin taking those big steps from campus to the rest of their lives. Thanks for your attention and we look forward to connecting with you more in the future!

Today, the Supreme Court has decided to deny millions of Americans the right to an abortion, and thus the right to liberty, equality and authority over their bodies. The Dobbs opinion is nothing less than a curtailment of women’s and potentially pregnant people’s rights, their status as free and equal citizens, their opportunities for equal participation in the nation’s economic and social life, and their ability to rely on the abortion right to structure their relationships and plan their lives. We read the court’s decision to overturn the landmark Roe v. Wade decision with horror, rage, and steadfast determination. We refuse to allow our colleagues, students, and fellow Americans to live in a country that denies its citizens basic human freedoms. The faculty of the Women’s and Gender Studies Program at The University of Tulsa vow to support research, writing, teaching, and activism that calls for reproductive rights as fundamental for all peoples.

Today is not a time for despair, but a call to action. We hope you will join us.

THANK YOU!!!
